It certainly appears to be a foreign substance on the coin's surface and not oxidation. That's why I suggested acetone. Depending on the ink, water may have no effect, so I don't see the point in taking that step first.

Here are 3 different substances that can remove an ink stain on silver. Technique is same for all. A smidgen on end of Q-tip. Gently dab an extremely tiny test spot.

1. A paste of chloride of lime and water
2. SHOUT Advanced Action Gel
3. Javelle water

It's a 1922 Peace dollar. Perhaps the most common Peace dollar every minted. So, NO I would not send it to have it conserved.

You can buy another that is practically perfect.
